vaaranam aayiram

The movie was good. The negative reviews only helped me to go in with a skeptic mind set and come out satisfied. Had the movie been any less, i would not have been able to watch it alone in a stinking theatre, myself fully drenched from a meaningless 3 km walk in the pouring chennai rains. I just saw the theatre, got that the movie is starting in 5 mins and bought a ticket and went in.

What impressed me in the film was the ninety days, surya, the lucky bastard that he is, gets with the girl. Ok, this, and the whole story as such, is a unrealistic, beautiful world, that we want to believe in.

Sometime back i had written about one young friend (http://odyssey-intoxicated.blogspot.com/2008/10/good-luck-guys.html). We were chatting today and he was going for a booze. I am bothered because he is an ardent surya fan and watched Jillendru quite a number of times. I am almost sure he must have liked the anjala song (Setting : Surya is a broken heart and the whole song is about him drinking and dancing kuthu"). Even i liked it. Even as i was watching it, I longed for a cigarette. The song is good, and awfully well placed. It compulsarily evokes a emotional response.
So did "ennai enakkae pidikka villai" in autograph. And for me, "poomaalai vaangi vandhaan" from Sindhu bhairavi. There are innumerable good songs of this genre.

But this trend of showing drinking and drugs as a solace to the broken heart is dangerous.

Verdict - watchable. If you are still skeptical, come out after the anjala song.

P.S : guess what the label means ?

its time to replace the after-booze "Kanda naal mudhalaai" song with Anjale song.
